Don't get me wrong, it's a great festival. I have tons of memories, from the officials pulling the plug on the Cure's set because they went past 11pm (noise bylaw), to seeing Explosions in the Sky for the first time. The venue is nice, even if it doesn't have a ton of shade, and it's easily accessible by the metro.
It's well organized too. I loved their idea of putting two stages together. One stage is being set up while the other is in use.
I've just reached the age where I don't have the stamina to go for that long.

Yeah I've only heard about that Cure gig (a friend said the audience was pretty apathetic), I was elsewhere for the whole summer. Caught them at the Bell centre a few years later. Smith himself was fine but how are you gonna play the Cure classics with a drummer as terminally boring and a dad rock lead guitarist...
